Dang, talk about award magnets. As 2010 nears its end, SNSD is just hauling in achievements left and right. To add to their hefty list is a placement on the “Pop Culture Power Leader Big 30″– a chart of thirty influential individuals/groups in the fields of broadcasting, films, performances, music, and entertainment. Conveniently fitting all five categories, SNSD ranked #4, moving up 10 places from last year’s #14.

CEO of CJ Entertainment and Vice-Chairwoman of CJ Group Lee Mi Kyung came in first, with SM Entertainment founder Lee Sooman second, comedian Kang Ho Dong third, comedian Yoo Jae Suk fifth, and YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun Suk sixth.

Last year's ranking is in parentheses

The achievement illustrates the influence of the girls not only in Korea, but worldwide- a recognizable symbol of Kpop girl groups and an emblem of Korean culture overall. Adding to the feat is the fact that the compilation is not merely a hastily-made list of famous celebrities, but a carefully chosen chart by panels of industry experts and professionals. Legit yo.

We’re so proud of SNSD for becoming such a widely known, positive representation of South Korea. They truly deserve it. Make sure to show your love as well down in the comments 😀

In addition to their Sports Korea win, SNSD nabbed yet another award- the 2nd spot on the prestigious Oricon Weekly Album Chart!

Recently, we reported that “Hoot” ranked #2 on the Oricon Daily Album Chart, with 21,271 copies sold by the day after the album dropped. Also, the Japanese version of “Gee” had reached the 2nd spot as well, but as Oricon stated: “This is SNSD‘s first Top 10 entry on the Album Chart”. On December 28, the Japanese Edition of the 3rd Mini Album “Hoot” sold 61,000 copies in the first week- an impressive feat for a relatively new group.

The Japanese edition of the mini album ‘Hoot’ consists of SNSD’s hits such as ‘Tell Me Your Wish’, ‘Gee’, ‘Run Devil Run’, ‘Oh!’, etc.

WE’RE EXCITED, AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO! So show some love and comment below because I love comments from readers

For the second time in a row, Sports Korea awarded both “Star of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” to SNSD!

3 consecutive hit songs- “Oh!”, “Run Devil Run”, and “Hoot”- topped off yet another successful year for the girls both at home and internationally. Ever since their debut showcase held at Ariake Colosseum this past August, the girls have quickly become a household name in Japan, gaining a whole new sector of fans.

Despite their huge success worldwide, SNSD were surprised at receiving the two titles on December 25th. In the waiting room at Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do, the girls showed their honest reactions to the newly added awards under their belts:
